Candy Corn (3x8")

OK, I know the chicken was grotesque. Grotesque things are good to paint because you really have to look hard. It wasn't my best chicken though, not even in the top ten. So there's room for improvement. In the meantime, something pretty to take your mind off the chicken.

Grotesque? Not really - just amusing! I could picture me with a hen under a hot, bright light and the skin would begin to shrivel and the odor would begin to add to the experience! :-) Who knows maybe I should give it a try. It certainly would help me loosen up and paint faster! Your skin tones on your portraits are always beautiful so I guess painting a chicken works!! Who knew?!

Your candies are nicely done. Good shadows. Is the green ball in the front a candy? Anyway, I like the reflection and shadow on that one, too.

About Me

My painting life has gradually shifted from abstract expressionism to realism, and in February, 2010 I began this daily painting art blog. The object has been to sharpen my skills and loosen up, also to have some fun exploring new ideas and subject matter. I welcome your comments and suggestions. There is more and different work on my web site, jeantownsend.com. Thanks for stopping by.
